So I guess this is the new general thread. So far the thing I like most about the 2017 Generations game is that it makes Eggman out as a much bigger threat without the need of some cosmic monster or what have you.

I've had generally positive opinions about all the Unleashed and later games (Black Knight and Boom notwithstanding). Even the werehog was fun enough for a beat-em-up. It did not belong in the same game as the day levels, though.

Jsor posted:I loved every level except Planet Wisp. The only part I like about Planet Wisp is Act 2 before the sidescrolling section. Both acts are just too big, and I really don't like the Spike powerup because it makes the stage feel even bigger and more aimless since now every wall is also a path. I'm sure it's better once you start memorizing the fast paths, but it was the only level where I didn't even want to try to go back and find the quickest path. Same. Planet Wisp was just a chore. Nowhere near as bad as that awful final boss, though.

I just want them to stop over correcting after each game and really refine what worked. Unleashed through Generations seemed to be doing that quite well, but Lost World was just kind of a janky mess of half-baked ideas that could have been great with some more time. They can't really listen to the fanbase for proper feedback because, let's be honest, it's filled with pissy conflicting opinions and demands that rarely even make sense, so I can see why they faulter on these experiments. That said, so long as the 2017 project is remotely close to Generations, I'll be happy.

Kulkasha posted:This. The world of Unleashed just gelled in a way that felt coherent for the first time since the Genesis Era. Yeah. The world had funny Pixar-esque humans interacting with the mutant animals instead of super serious, bland anime people. The plot didn't take itself too seriously, but did stop the jokes when needed and Sonic started to get some of his personality back. Unleashed was what got me believing the series had potential again after 06's horror. Augus posted:Weirdly enough, Sonic and The Black Knight pretty much has a perfect plot for a Sonic game. The plot was the first time we got to see Sonic act like his old attitude days in a game before Colors and has a genuinely good villain in Merlina. So despite being pretty bad, I'm softer on it than most.

El Mido posted:PS3 version has a full set of levels in Mazuri and an extra set of levels to play in Empire City compared to the Wii version. It doesn't have the Gaia Gate puzzle rooms. It does have Sonic Adventure/Sonic 2006-ish wandering around hubs for the next cutscene as well as small tasks you can do for npcs. PS3 version has a greater focus on collecting sun and moon medals to progress versus the Wii version only locking off puzzle rooms with medals. I did like how pretty all the hubs were and the goofy little Pixar people. I wouldn't have minded seeing something like that for Colors as well.

Alfalfa The Roach posted:Sonic 2006 gave us the greatest LP of that game by Pokecapn and his posse, so for that alone I'm glad the game exists Watching that game slowly destroy souls was almost, but not quite worth its existence. At least that embarrassed Sonic Team enough to start improving and fire their writing staff.

MikeJF posted:I agree, and more importantly, the Lost World aesthetic would let them make massive 3D levels with a lot less effort than the over-detailed Unleashed Day art style, which has always been a major issue for them. They should stick to it just so they can make expansive runs. Yeah, a simplified art style would help speed up development and fit well with the characters.

Davinci posted:The werehog was cool and I wouldn't mind at all controlling him in the Olympic Games or something like that I like the werehog form enough, it was a competent brawler, but I have to agree it was too jarring when compared to the speed sections. If it had been some entirely different game series, I'd have loved to see it. Werehog and Chip would be great partners for a whole series. I would honestly like to see some improved version of that kind of gameplay for a Knuckles game or something. Either way, the Egg Dragoon battle with it was a high point of the game, even if it was too easy. Geostomp fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Sep 8, 2016 |

SylvainMustach posted:Two things: just got Colors and I love it to bits. Shame the other two Wii games are supposed to be stinkers. I'll probably get lost world eventually because we've got nothing else coming to the WiiU Unleashed Wii was okay, but had way too much werehog. The other two aren't at all good thanks to serious gimmicks.

Amppelix posted:I don't think werehog is actually a problem there; there's about as much as in the HD version and the level design is sometimes actually better. The Sonic levels on the other hand are so underwhelmingly dimps that there's no real reason to play through the mediocre brawler that is werehog to get to them. A whole lotta running through empty space with no input required. Good point, but the Wii-hog levels outnumber the day levels so much that it really brings out the contrast, especially since they took out the combo-system for something much simpler and reduced the hubs to static screens so you don't get extra levels to unlock or side-missions. That's not even getting into completely removing at least one boss and two worlds entirely. At least one Werehog boss fight and, arguably, the final boss was significantly improved there, but that's it. All and all, the Wii version was so inferior that I'd just stick to Colors and ignore anything else that came for that system.

SonicRulez posted:I just want to second the amount of angry childhood stomping I did when I realized the show was about Chris Thorndyke instead of about Sonic the drat Hedgehog. I just wanted to see him fight badniks and Egg Robos and Shadow and Sonic Heroes with Tails and Knuckles or whatever poo poo. Sonic stuff. Not playing around with a dumb kid. Thirding it. The first episode seemed to have potential until that brat showed up and was declared the star.

Onmi posted:Unleashed probably had the best 'story' I've seen for Sonic, where it wasn't that serious despite being a serious 'thing'. Like yeah the worlds blown up and we gotta fix it but ya know, in a chill way. Sonic's first reaction to learning that Eggman blew up the world, awoke a primal horror, and is now forced to painfully transform twice a day was "Sounds like a great excuse to see the world!!" That is the way he absolutely should be.

LOCUST FART HELL posted:in my sonic 06 remake, the story will be resolved much quicker when silver makes eggman's head explode, scanners style In my ideal, we'd see the canon timeline where Sonic passes through in two minutes and nothing else happens. If we have to actually have a game, then we get this overwrought anime nonsense, but everyone has their Sonic Boom personalities and no one takes it seriously for a minute.

beep by grandpa posted:Anyone ever thought about how much time Sonic spends saving and protecting tiny little woodland animals from abuse rendered by Dr. Robotnik but Sonic's favorite food are chilly dogs? Hey, nobody said those weren't mealworm chilidogs or something. Mr. Fortitude posted:Well what do you expect from the hedgehog version of Trunks? Tunks goes back in time, changes the future, goes forward to his own time and defeats the Androids but then gets punked by Cell. Silver won't fare any better. Then he got two versions of an evil god about twenty years later wrecking everything worse. Trunks is time's whipping boy so his hedgehog homage must follow suit.

Pants Donkey posted:I've been trying to find this on my own, but come up empty-handed. Does anyone have an explanation for why the original Sonic theme from 1 & 2 never became an enduring thing? I know it has something to do with royalties that Sega doesn't want to pay for every game, but they do dip into on occasion like for Generations. Seemed weird they didn't also go for it with Mania. I guess Green Hill Zone was just more memorable.
